Smart Tips for Building Flower Bed on Budget

While starting a flower bed requires some planning and forethought beforehand, it’s not as difficult as one might think to build a flower bed from scratch. There are many types of flower gardens and no two are ever quite the same. You can plant a flower bed any way you like – big or small, curved or straight, raised or flat – whatever.

Flower beds can also be changed as time goes on or as space permits. Let’s look at how to create flower beds.

Choose Shape

Once you picked a location, it is time to determine the shape of your flower beds. It can be a pathway, or it can be of any geometric shape.

Test Soil

Before planting the flowers or herbs, test the soil first. You can do that by taking a sample to a country extension office of your area or simply by using a soil test kit.

Plant flowers

You can grow your flowers right from the beds or you can you can grow them in planters first to transplant them to the soil when they are strong enough.

Flower Bed Edging

Edging of the flower beds allows defining the shape. Stones and bricks are often used for this purpose.
